Will be going to get my second tattoo. If there are any first timers who are unsure, this is the place to go.

Great show. It seemed that there were not as many tattooers this year. Last year the rows were smaller and packed. Either way, still amazing tattoo artist. Got a full should to forearm tattoo. Love it. Girlfriend got a nice piece too. Maybe next year get a big draw artist. Tattoo people are not impressed by big name people tv celebs. But it would. Ring the casual person out. It was cool seeing Corey Miller there. Chatted with him a bit. Very cool dude. Been a fan of his long ...before he was on any tv. Wish he was tattooing though. Over all, great show. Let's build this expo to get the best of the best there. Tomy Montoya, Tim Hendrix, Chris Garvin, Corey Miller (to tat this time). These are just some names that people in the tattoo community know well. With that said, there were many amazing tattoo artist there. Some were super over priced. I saw a decent size clipper for 800 bucks. I got the same one from a lovely Japanese lady for 300 (and 60 tip). These are all positive comments I hope the hosts will take into consideration. We live in the most beautiful and diversified city in America. Keep up the great work. Sorry for the long message See more Read Less

Very unprepared show, no hooks to hang banners and had to use tape. Very small box for garbage and almost no foot traffic. Very low turn out, for a seventh year show there should have been WAY more people. I didn't get to tattoo until the last few hours. I hope this was just a hiccup for anyone planning on attending next year. Good luck Read Less
